Valentin KleinandClaude Opus 5.5 fc1810f5d9 Array commands: ARRAY, and edit-array option loops for ARRAYRECT/ARRAYPOLAR (#230) (#232)
* Array commands: ARRAY, and the edit-array option loops for ARRAYRECT/ARRAYPOLAR (#230)

ARRAY (alias AR) selects objects, asks for the array type and continues as
ARRAYRECT, ARRAYPATH or ARRAYPOLAR. ARRAYRECT no longer creates a fixed 4x3
grid right after selection: it previews the array and loops on
ASsociative/Base point/COUnt/Spacing/COLumns/Rows/Levels/eXit. ARRAYPOLAR
asks for the center (or Base point), then loops on Items/Angle between/
Fill angle/ROTate items/eXit. The copies are created on eXit or Enter.
Associative arrays, levels and polar rows report "not available yet" and
return to the loop without consuming the next input.

The array commands move to cmd/array.rs. Arrays stay non-associative
copies, and the JSON forms are unchanged. A full clockwise polar fill
(-360) no longer puts the last item on top of the source.

* Arrays: refuse arrays over MAXARRAY instead of hanging or shrinking them (#230)

`arrayrect {"rows":1000000,"cols":1000000}` was clamped to 1000x1000 and
then created a million copies of every selected object, which hangs the
app. ARRAYRECT, ARRAYPOLAR and ARRAYPATH (JSON and interactive, also via
ARRAY) now count items x selected objects and refuse an array over the
new MAXARRAY session variable (default 100000, settable 100..10000000)
with a message naming the limit, instead of clamping the counts and
silently creating fewer copies. The interactive count prompts accept at
most what still fits under MAXARRAY.
